SXR30 Orbi Pro Mini vlan isolation issues on wireless 3 with split ssid enabled.
SXR30 + 2 SXS30 V3.2.33.108 I'm having some serious issues with my vlan setup on this orbi system. The goal is, to isolate everything on lan3 &wlan3 in the router. 192.168.30.1 is the ip for ...

If isolation were actually working, how would the devices on the iot vlan be able to reach the dns server on the same subnet?
The way I understand Netgear's simplified design (like these isolation on/off) I tend to state the isolated devices can reach the VLAN assigned subnet default gateway only, which does also serve as a DNS relay or the like. And no option to allow additional IP or MAC.
More complexity (or confusion) comes in if people add a wired backhaul, add switch ports exposing say this IoT VLAN for example as an access port, ....
Nowhere does it state conditional network isolation if not using wired back haul.
Network isolation kinda worked, but client isolation did not at all. Wireless devices could easily see wired ones, as well as each other on the same vlan.
Even more confusion comes from the statement in the IoT wireless 3 advanced status saying "Allow IoT devices to see each other and access my local network On".
This isn't even an option to toggle on the pro mini. Looking at firmwares for other pros, it is an option that can be configured in wireless setup. For some reason, here it cannot.
Firmware is clearly an issue.

Hi
In the statue page, "Allow IoT devices to see each other and access my local network On" is a bug since we don't provide this feature in wireless 3 anymore. We will remove the status. Network/clients isolation are managed by VLAN/Bridge setting. Can you upgrade to v4.2.0.122 and see if you still have the issue?
